Raves & Reviews

I was looking for a refresher floral design class, where I could build on the skills I learned years ago and learn new skills, and that’s exactly what I found. Christina is a talented and knowledgeable floral artist and instructor who presents a well prepared curriculum. I was pleased with the abundance and variety of flowers we were given to work with, the tools we were given and the pleasantness of the classroom. The 12 day class I took is not an easy workshop style course. I was challenged and at times discouraged, but I learned so much and was delighted with many of the designs I was able to make with Christina’s instruction and guidance. She won’t let you off easy, and even asked a classmate to throw her design in the trash and start over(!) but I liked that, because I was there to learn and learn I did! She sometimes questioned my choices and placements when I was headed the wrong directions with a design but she didn’t give up on me or my designs. I also learned a great deal about the marketing and business side of the profession. I believe with hard work and ongoing practice this class could prepare a student like me to work in the floral industry. I have gained a connection with a world-known floral artist who is willing to offer ideas and advice in the future. I have benefited greatly from the resources Christina shared with us in the form of websites, email lists, floral design books and connections with wholesale houses. I would love to go back someday and take some of the specialized design classes she offers. The class was worth my time, effort and money. I would highly recommend it. Receiving my completion certificate at the end was very rewarding for me!
The flower classroom is a place to study serious floral design in a fun relaxed atmosphere. It is for those who want to become a professional florist to for those who just want to improve their designs for personal use. Tammy Ivy
Dear Miss Tina, I would like to tell you how much I enjoyed your class. It was such a wonderful experience. I had looked for such a long time to find a class where I could learn more about floral design. I could not have imagined a class such as yours! From flower processing to design elements; your teaching style allowed me to learn and understand so much more about this creative field. I am forever thankful to you. You have given me a great deal of insight into the floral industry, and opened my eyes to endless possibilities for myself. Thank you for sharing your gifts with others! Sincerely, Errica Parsons
Learning from Christina has been so helpful in so many ways. She is very willing to give good advice in order to help you achieve whatever your floral dream might be. After taking the 12 day basic floral design class I am happy to continue to invest in myself and take her 5 day advanced class also. At the end of the day, you go home with beautiful floral designs that you are also proud enough to give away. I feel blessed to have found her. Vicki Gayle
Anyone wanting to learn about floral design should enroll in the "explore floral design" series of classes. Christina's "Explore Floral Design " classes cover every aspect of floral design from the proper handling of fresh floral materials, the materials used in floral design,color and design theory,the mechanics of floral design as well as the "business of floral design. The course content is well organized. The studio setting is pleasant with more than adequate space and equipment. Christina supplies the clases with a wide variety of materials for studetn use. Group instruction is enhanced with a one-on-one guidance as needed. If you have an interest in floral design, you'll be glad you enrolled. Beth Ball
Christina knows flowers and the flower business! At the flower classroom she will teach you in an easy, laid back and practical style. Lee Ann
Christina I can't thank you enough for this wonderful experience with you at the flower classroom. I have grown so much professionally. I feel like a butterfly with new wings. :) I would love to continue to work with you and learn from you. You are the best! Lee Ann
Christina is an amazing instructor! What makes a great instructor? Competence in the subject , ingenuity & creativity, the ability to understand & work with people, the desire to share,give time & effort to support others in achieving high level skills. This defines Christina and the experience you will have as a student in her classroom's explore floral design class. Knowing nothing about handling fresh cut flowers,however I graduated after 10 weeks with a well-informed knowledge base, hours of practice at a newly acquired skill and a mentor for life!! Thank you, Christina from Sheryl Ewert (student)
Groupon/Awesome class. Will sign up for the next one soon!
Groupon/Great experience!
Groupon/It was worth the money just to take home your own arrangement of beautiful flowers.
Groupon/Christina M. Burton AIFD is an amazing instructor. Would consider further classes at flower classroom.
Groupon/Such a fun class. Beautiful flowers. Really learned alot about floral design and care for floral arrangements.
Groupon/Had a wonderful time with Christina, she is a great teacher and explains the art of arranging so I could understand. We all after her instructions were able to complete a beautiful bouquet to take home.
Groupon/The class was so educational and entertaining. Only 6 people can attend each session so you get hands on attention and instruction. The owner is very nice and is a great teacher. The project you leave with is beautiful.
Explore Floral Design class is a great way to learn the basics of floral design. Christina is an amazing teacher. I loved this class and am looking forward to taking her advanced classes. Shaina Jo Maag
Explore Floral Design class was wonderful. If you want to learn about designing flowers this class is a must. Christina breaks the content up into very managable pieces & continues to give suggestions on techniques to embelish your design. In the course you are exposed to all the greens and flowers that exist in the current market. Step out of the box and explore flower design. You will enjoy the class, Joyce Mc Mahon
What an exciting class. If you love flowers you will love this class and you will learn how to design flower arrangements. Christina is very helpful in showing you the "how to" to make beautiful flower arrangements that will please you and your friends. (explore floral design class) Mary Lou Heine

I loved the Flower Classroom! I learned so much & had so much fun. She taught so many different designs and helped me understand deeper into the designs and that you can do so much with your designs. The class is above and beyond, I loved how many arrangments I took home with a vast array of flowers in them. Meagan McGarrah

Groupon/ The class was wonderful. I signed up with my mom and a friend with the intent of a ladies night out. The class was well structured, the establishment was very clean and the teacher was fantastic. I couldn't have asked for anything more.
